Detectives seized suspects including doctors, teachers, care workers, scout leaders and ex-police officers in a six-month crackdown. Police say they have protected or “safeguarded” 431 children, many of whom were at immediate risk from suspects. Some of these suspects had unsupervised access to children in the course of their work.
The operation, codenamed Notarise, was co-ordinated by the National Crime Agency and involved searches of 833 homes and offices across the UK. Police said they seized nearly 10,000 phones and computers. The agency stressed that none of those arrested was a serving or former MP or member of the Government. The majority had no previous history of sex offending.
NCA deputy director Phil Gormley said: “We believe this is the biggest operation of its type in the history of UK law enforcement. Our aim was to protect children who were victims of, or may be at risk of, sexual exploitation." Continues.
